Smoked Gouda Cheese Crisp Salad

with Dried Cherries, Raisins & Almonds

The star of this vibrant salad is the smoked gouda cheese crisps, which you'll make by cooking the melty cheese in the pan (with a touch of crushed red pepper) until golden brown and crispy. It's the perfect savory addition to a mix of dried fruits, juicy tomatoes, spinach, and arugula that's tossed with a simple lemon-honey dressing.

Instructions

Prepare the ingredients

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Grate the gouda on the large side of a box grater. Halve the tomatoes. Halve the lemon crosswise; remove the seeds. In a large bowl, combine the juice of 1 lemon half (you will have extra), half the honey, and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper.

Make the cheese crisps

Heat a medium nonstick pan on medium-high until hot. Add the grated gouda in an even layer; top with as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Cook, without stirring, 6 to 8 minutes, or until melted, lightly browned, and crispy. Transfer to a plate; evenly drizzle with the remaining honey. Let cool at least 2 minutes, then break into bite-sized pieces.

Dress the salad & serve your dish

To the bowl of dressing, add the arugula, spinach, halved tomatoes, raisins, and cherries; toss to combine. Serve the salad topped with the almonds and cheese crisps. Enjoy!
